But I still had the same problem of the tool digging in and rotating the toolpost holder. I tried to tighten the toolpost holder up but only succeeded in breaking off the handle on the toolpost :doh: :bang: --- End quote --- Very nicely done Tim! If it works...... It`s ok..... :clap: Thought you might like to see my little mod to allow the toolpost to rotate, only when I want it to..... :thumbup: A small piece of 1/8" plate, held with a 6mm caphead. Locked. Unlocked. Works very well..... :thumbup: David D |

If you have a look at your topslide with the toolpost off, there is usually a hole drilled into the top. If you can make a matching hole in the bottom of your toolpost, it is just a matter of making a slug to drop into the hole and put the toolpost onto it. This will effectively lock up your toolpost and prevent it turning. Just take the slug out and you can then set your toolpost to angles again. John |
